Ipart  jfirst. 

ThS  SloUgfll  desk  Mining  (.'ompany  was  orgnni/t-d 
January,  1892,  by  a  number  of  well-known  business  men  of 
Tacoma,  Wash.,  for  the  purpose  of  ac(|uiring  and  d  veloping 
mines,  principally,  the  auriferous  alluvial  deposits  in  the  Cari- 
boo district  of  British  Columbia,  and  to  carry  out  its  intention 
the  company  was  incor[)orated  under  the  laws  of  the  State  of 
Washington,  with  a  capital  stock  of  $500,000,  divided  into 
500,000  non  assessable  shares  of  a  par  value  of  $1.00  each. 


ThO  Frelizai&AXy  arrangements  having  been  |)errected, 
the  company  secured  a  valuable  grant  of  mining  ground  from 
the  provincial  government  of  British  Columbia,  embracing  an 
area  three  miles  in  length  by  one  half  mile  in  width  of  the  bed 
or  valley  of  Slough  Creek.  It  ii  held  under  2i  fifteen  year 
crotvn  least,  issued  by  the  gold  commissioner  of  the  district  on 
behalf  of  Her  Majesty  the  Queen  of  Great  Britain  and  Em- 
press of  India.  The  conditions  of  the  lease  require  the  annual 
payment  of  $100  to  the  government  and  an  expenditure  of 
$S,ooo.oo  in  development  work  each  year  during  its  continu- 
ance. 

*     *     * 

This  ValuablO  Property  is  located  six  miles  southwest 
of  the  famous  Williams  Creek,  \\\  the  same  valley  of  auriferous 
drift  from  the  rich  (juartz  lodes  that  are  known  to  exist,  and 
from  which  by  the  natural  process  of  erosion  the  auriferous 
alluvial  deposits  have  been  supplied.  It  is  bounded  on  the 
east  by  Island  mountain,  and  on  the  west  by  Burns  mountain, 
whose  rocky  summits  are  a  mass  of  quartz  veins,  yielding  from 
$10  to  $50  to  the  ton  in  free  gold. 


The  lulftp  at  page  lo  illustrates  a  section  of  the  richest 
portion  of  the  Cariboo  district,  wherein  is  located  the  grant  of 
the  Slough  Creek  Mining  Company.  The  mountains  on  either 
side  that  form  the  valley  through  which  Slough  Creek  runs 
are  seamed  with  (|uartz  veins,  the  source  that  has  supplied 
Jiurns,  Coulter,  Devils  and  Nelson  Creeks  with  their  rich  de- 
posits of  gold.  The  natural  trend  of  the  valley  corresponding 
with  Williams  and  Lightning  Creeks,  i)oints  plainly  to  the 
presence  of  the  precious  metal  in  Slough  Creek  in  the  same 
(juantity  as  those  famous  wealth  producers  which  have  attracted 
so  much  notice  to  the  Cariboo  district. 

*  •*     * 

Where  C&rriTjOO  Is.  it  is  that  portion  of  British 
Columbia  embracing  a  complete  section  across  the  Northern 
interior  plateau  from  the  C'oast  Mountains  to  the  Rocky 
Mountain  region.  Popularly,  Cariboo  includes  an  area  of 
about  60  miles  scjuare,  and  since  the  discovery  of  its  rich 
auriferous  alluvial  deposits  in  i860,  when  gold  was  taken  out 
by  the  pound,  it  has  continued  to  be  the  richest  gold  field  in 
the  world,  this  being  attested  by  the  record  of  the  past  thirty 
years,  the  yield  averaging  six  hundred  dollars  a  year  to  every 
man  engaged  in  mining  during  that  period. 

*  -x      * 

Production.  This  El  Dorado  of  the  North,  Williams, 
Crouse  and  Lightning  Creeks,  with  their  tributaries,  produced 
up  to  1861,  $2,000,000.  On  Williams  Creek  202  pounds  of 
gold  was  taken  out  of  the  Diller  claim  in  one  day  with  only  two 
men  drifting.  Steel  Cv:  Co's  claim  yielded  on  two  consecutive 
days  387  and  409  ounces  of  gold,  and  in  two  moi.ths  $105,000. 
The  Canadian  claim  gave  for  a  time  $5,000  and  $6,000  a  day. 

*  *     * 

On  Lightning  Creek  the  Campbell  and  Whitehall 
claims  yielded  in  1861,  $200,000.  Campbell  took  out  in 
three  days  1,700  ounces  of  gold,  and  eight  claims  on  this  creek 
paid  $2,500,000.  Grouse  Creek  was  also  very  rich.  The 
Heron  claim  paid  from  100  to  400  ounces  per  day,  and  gave 
the  owners  $300,000  in  dividends.  Besides  these,  ther'^  were 
Jack  of  Clubs,  Lowhee,  Chisholm,  Last  Chance,  Vat  u;le, 
Davis,  Anderson,  Harvey,  Burns,  Nelson  and  Co'ilter  •:  ".ks, 
and  numerous  gulches  and  ravines  which  yielced  a  large 
amount  of  gold  and  mr.de  many  independent  fortunes 


Xntlie  Aurorft,  one  pan  of  picked  dirt  yielded  387  ounces. 
Ten  claims,  with  a  total  of  1,340  feet,  paid  $i,5io,-)oo,  an 
average  of  $1,1  29  per  running  foot  of  creek.  The  Ericson 
claim,  according  to  the  Victoria  fJolonist,  produced  for  seven 
consecutive  weeks,  between  June  17  and  July  29,  1864,  the 
following  result ;  900,   640,    1,400,    1,926,    1,300    and   2,600 

ounces. 

*  *     ♦ 

A&tlor  Creok  '^'so  yielded  a  large  nnio'-^'  of  gold  ;  one 
company  made  $83,000  in  three  weeks.  The  i  .'ck  yielded 
$10,000  per  day  for  some  time  in  1861,  aid  many  claims 
paid  $1,000  to  the  s(iuare  foot.  The  goKj  war;  'akcn  from 
shallow  ground,  as  the  stream  was  never  bctton  ed,  owing  to 

ti.v  in..xperierce  of  the  carlv  prosjiector  in  (\'.c\)  sinking  and 
the  expense  to  open  work  before  any  returns  were  obtained. 

*  *     * 

As  ftXI  Szftniple  of  the  cost  of  sinking  in  the  deep 
ground,  the  Van  Winkle  mine  cost  $40,000  before  the  chan. 
nel  was  reached  ;  it  yielded  a  large  amount  of  gold  afiewards, 
however,  throe  consecutive  weekly  cleanups  being  as  follows: 
$15,700,  $14,000  and  $12,000.  The  Cunningham  claim  cost 
$100,000  to  0|)en  work  and  yielded  $500,000.  I'he  Califor. 
nia  and  Tontine  claims  cost  about   the  same  and  paid  $500,- 

000  each  in  dividends. 

*  *     * 

The  Great  Sscpense  can  be  easily  accounted  for.  The 
pay  dirt  was  all  the  way  from  60  to  150  feet  deep;  large  pumps 
were  required  to  keep  the  water  down,  and  often  bedrock 
drains  were  run  for  the  same  purpose,  which  in  their  con- 
struction sometimes  baffled  the  ingenuity  of  the  ablest  miners. 
Again,  in  some  instances  limited  means  compelled  miners  to 
abandon  ground  when  within  a  short  distance  of  the  coveted 
treasure.  In  consecjuence,  many  rich  places  are  left,  which 
ivere  too  deep  and  dilificult  to  prospect. 

■*     *     * 

The  Fxecedingf  statement  of  facts  relating  to  the  pro- 
duction of  gold  and  the  cost  of  developing  the  various  streams 
in  Cariboo  during  the  sixties,  are  taken  from  the  official  re- 
ports of  the  gold  commissioner.  They  constitute  an  instructive 
chapter  in  connection  with  the  proijert/  of  the  Slough  Creek 
Mining  Company,  as  it  enables  the  reader  to  form  a  correct 
idea  of  the  vast  wealth  of  this  celebrated  gold  region. 


iv 


part  Seconb. 


The  Object  of  the  Slough  Creek  Mining  Company  is  to 
develop  Slough  Creek,  one  of  the  principal  water  courses,  cut- 
ting its  way  through  the  gold  basin  of  the  Cariboo  district  as 
shown  on  map  at  page  lo,  which,  owing  to  its  depth  and  the 
cost  of  development,  has  remained  a  blank  in  that  rich  sec- 
tion, th^'igh  undoubtedly  underlaid  with  millions  of  dollars 
worth  of  the  precious  metal.  It  is  a  sister  creek  to  the  famous 
Williams,  Lightning,  Grouse  and  Antler,  streams  from  which 
the  greater  portion  of  the  output  of  Cariboo  has  been 
taken. 


<«► 


Thiee  Miles,  l  he  company  owns  three  miles  in  length 
by  one  half  mile,  the  entire  width  of  the  bed  or  valley  of 
Slough  Creek,  it  being  the  ground  sluice  for  the  richest  tribu- 
taries in  the  Cariboo  district.  And  estimating  300  feet  as  the 
width  of  the  channel,  three  miles  in  length  represents  three 
thousand  four  hundred  and  eighty  five  individual  miner's 
claims,  each  100  feet  square. 


This  Q-rand  Affgregatioa  of  claims  is  capitalized  in 
the  sum  of  $500,000,  divided  into  500,000  shares  of 
the  par  value  of  $1.00  each,  and  223,000  of  these  shares  are 
set  apart  and  pledged  to  be  sold  for  the  exclusive  purpose  of 
sinking  a  shaft  to  the  bed  rock,  where  gold  is  found  yielding 
600  ounces  to  the  set  of  timbers,  a  set  of  timbers  being  ten 
feet  in  length,  six  feet  in  height  and  three  and  one-half  feet  in 
depth. 


A  Payinff  Basis.  Careful  estimates  have  been  made 
of  the  probable  cost  of  the  work  necessary  lo  place  the  prop- 
erty on  a  paying  basis,  and  at  a  meeting  of  the  board  of  trustees 
they  authorized  the  sale  of  a  certain  amount  of  treasury  stock, 
to  be  sold  in  series  of  30,000  shares  each,  to  meet  the 
expenditure.  The  first  series  was  placed  on  the  market  and 
was  sold  in  Victoria,  B.  C,  and  Tacoma,  Wash.,  in  ten  days. 

« 


Soringf  Per  TllO  Chftniiel.  fo  obviate  the  difficulties 
heretofore  encountered  in  prospecting  the  deep  channels  the 
company  purchased  a  hydraulic  jetting  machine,  for  the 
purpose  of  boring  a  series  of  shafts  across  the  valley  or  bc^.  of 
the  creek,  and  theieby  locate  the  deep  ground.  The  result 
of  these  operations  proved  a  great  saving  both  in  time  and 
money  over  'le  old  methods,  for  in  ninety  days  after  work 
was  started  four  shafts  were  bored,  and  the  deep  channel 
located  at  a  depth  of  two  hundred  and  forty-five  feet  from  the 
surface. 


SnOOUTAffing  Prospects,  in  each  of  the  holes  bored, 
gold  was  obtained  from  the  bed  rock.  The  cut  on  page  9 
shows  the  machine  in  operation  on  August  26th,  1892,  at  which 
time  a  body  of  clay  was  struck  that  continued  to  a  depth  of 
160  feet.  The  prospects  generally  being  of  sufficient  import- 
ance to  warrant  the  trustees  in  authorizing  the  sinking  of  a 
working  shaft,  which  was  started  on  the  10th  of  November, 
1892. 


BopOltS  from  the  superintendent  at  the  mine  are  mos^ 
favorable.  He  has  had  sixteen  men  steadily  employed  during 
the  winter  and  summer.  The  shaft  has  been  put  down  seventy 
feet,  and  in  connection  therewith  a  dram  tunnel  2150  feet  long 
has  been  constructed,  which  taps  the  shaft  at  a  depth  of  forty- 
five  feet  and  drains  the  surface  water  down  to  the  clay. 


t 


E;:st9asive  Hydraulic  claims  are  worked  on  the  banks 
of  Slough  Creek,  which  yield  handsome  dividends,  and  many 
rich  gulches  and  ravines  for  ages  past  have  empti'^d  their 
waste  into  the  valley  of  Slough  Creek.  A  portion  of  all  these 
tributary  streams  is  embraced  within  the  limits  of  the  property, 
and  their  combined  contributions  alone  are  of  sufficient  im- 
portance to  warrant  its  development.  The  Island  Mountain 
Quartz  Mining  Company  has  a  ten  stamp  mill  at  the  head  of 
Slough  Creek,  and  the  primitive  Arastra  is  operated  success- 
fully on  Burns  mountain,  a  short  distance  from  the  property. 


lC>art  Chirb. 

To  Investors,  ^''d  the  public  in  general,  this  is  one  of 
the  best  mining  proposition  thnt  has  ever  been  offered.  To 
illustrate:  One  share  of  the  Slough  Creek  Mining  Company's 
stock  is  eijuivalent  to  69-.;  square  feet,  and  130  shares  equal 
one  full  claim  100  feet  scjuare  of  mining  property  in  the 
Cariboo  district  where  claims  are  known  to  have  yielded 
over  $ioo,coo,  while  others  have  paid  $1,000  to  the  square 
foot.  The  extent  of  the  richness  of  these  mines  can  only  be 
estimated  by  the  records  of  the  past  thirty  years. 

*  ■*     * 

No  One  DoulstS  ^^^^^  shares  of  the  Slough  Creek 
Mining  Company's  stock  will  advance  several  hundred  per 
cent.  It  is  a  safe  and  sure  investment  in  which  there  may

Some  Headers  of  these  lines  not  accjuainted  with  the 
geography  of  British  Columbia  may  ask,  where  is  Slough 
Creek,  and  how  is  it  reached?  To  such  inquiry  the  Slough 
Creek  Mining  Company  would  state  that  it  is  in  the  very 
center  of  the  famous  Cariboo  district,  between  Lightning  and 
William  Creeks.  It  is  a  little  over  550  miles  from  Tacoma 
or  Victoria,  480  miles  from  Vancouver,  B.  C,  and  only  Cive 
days  travel  from  any  part  of  the  Sound  via  the  Canadian  Pa- 
cific Railroad,  connecting  with  the  British  Columbia  Express 
Comi)any's  stages  at  Ashcroft,  carrying  the  royal  mail. 

*  *     * 

For  Barkerville,  the  principal  town  and  trading  center 
for  nearly  all  the  Cariboo  district,  stages  leave  Ashcroft  every 
Monday  at  7  a.  m.;  and  arrive  at  Barkerville  every  Thursday 
at  7  p.  m.;  returning,  leave  Barkerville  Saturdays  at  6  a.  m.; 
and  arrive  at  Ashcroft  Tuesdays  at  6  p.  m.,  connecting  with 
the  Canadian  Paci'"'c  both  east  and  west  bound;  only  four  days 
staging  over  a  splendid  wagon  road,  hard  and  smooth,  with  no 
dust  to  suffocate.  The  scenery  is  magnificent  and  the  hotel 
accomodations  arc  unsurpassed.

Httention. 

Particular  attention  is  called  to  the  fact,  that  the  Slough 
Creek  Mining  Company  owns  the  largest  body  of  mining 
ground  in  the  Cariboo  district  of  British  Columbia.  Half  a 
mile  square  is  the  limit  that  can  now  be  obtained  by  any  com- 
pany. Mining  men  and  investors  who  are  familiar  with  this 
class  of  gold  properties  are  invited  to  investigate  this  proposi- 
tion. They  will  find  that  it  is  uneqnaled  in  value,  and  will 
command  their  attention  as  an  investment.  Address  the 
company,  F.  O.  Box  254,  Tacoma,  Wash.

The  marvelously  rich  deposits  of  wealth  explored  and  de- 
veloped in  the  Cariboo  gold  fields,  British  Columbia,  are  at 
present  attracting  the  notice  of  mining  men  from  the  State  of 
Washington,  who  are  seeking  safe  and  profitable  investments 
for  their  capital.  The  quartz  excitement  for  the  past  three 
years  throughout  the  State  of  Washington  and  the  northwest 
has  kept  investors  in  mining  properties  at  a  fever  heat  during 
that  time;  but  a  reaction  it  evidently  taking  place  in  favor  of 
placer  mining,  for  now  there  seems  to  be  unusual  activity 
around  placer  mining  circles,  and  Cariboo  is  spoken  of  as  the 
favored  center  of  attraction,  where  the  discoveries  of  gold  in 
the  valleys  and  small  streams  that  traverse  them  would 
appear  almost  like  taies  from  fairyland  were  they  not  attested 
by  thousands  of  miners  and  the  cold  unvarnished  fact  that 
$60,000,000  worth  of  nuggets  and  dust  have  been  produced 
from  these  sources.  The  bed  of  every  gulch  or  creek  in  the 
district  that  has  been  worked  has  paid  the  enormous  sum  of 
$50.00  to  $1,000  to  the  square  foot  of  ground,  and  it  is  the 
general  belief,  based  on  well  known  facts,  that  there  are  im- 
mense deposits  of  gold  in  the  deep  channels  that  have  never 
been  explored.  Like  California  and  Australia,  the  deep  dig- 
gins  in  Cariboo  were  beyond  the  limited  means  of  the  average 
miner.  Thus,  the  richest  placers  have  remained  for  the  ad- 
vent of  capital  to  take  hold  and  develop  them. 

By  consulting  the  reports  of  the  Department  of  Mines  and 
the  Geological  Survey  of  Canada,  it  will  be  seen  that  there  are 
immense  possibilities  for  the  investment  of  capital  in  this  fa- 
mous gold  field.  Gold  abounds  in  every  valley,  and  in  every 
stream  that  empties  into  it.  Should  there  be  any  doubt  in  the 
mind  of  the  reader  as  to  the  richness  of  this  Eldoiado,  a  ref- 
erence to  the  Review  of  May,  1891,  will  set  them  at  rest.  In 
that  issue  it  was  pointed  out  that  202  pounds  of  gold  v/as  ta- 
ken out  by  two  men  in  one  day.  Thirteen  hundred  and  forty 
feet  of  ground  paid  $1,510,000,  and  one  pan  of  dirt  yielded 
387  ounces — $5,579-  These  figures  are  given  for  the  purpose 
of  showing  the  operations  of  the  past,  when  little  capital  and 
machinery  were  employed,  which  necessarily  confined  explor- 
ations to  the  deposits  that  lay  near  the  surface.

In  view  of  these  facts  and  a  grant  of  three  miles  of 
ground  from  the  provincial  goxernment  of  liritish  Columbia, 
a  company  has  been  organized  at  Tacoma,  Wash.,  with  a  capi- 
tal of  $500,000,  for  the  purpose  of  developing  one  of  the 
principal  streams  of  the  gold  basin  of  this  district,  i'he  names 
and  standing  of  the  gentlemen  who  compose  the  Slough  Creek 
Mining  Company  whose  [)rospectus  is  published  in  our  adver- 
tising columns  this  month,  is  a  guarantee  that  they  will  per- 
form the  obligations  of  their  lease,  which  recjuires  an  outlay  of 
$5,000  annually  for  a  term  of  fifteen  years.  The  company 
commenced  operations  last  June  with  a  Chapman  hydraulic 
jetting  machine,  and  bored  four  shafts,  locating  the  channel  at 
a  depth  of  245  feet,  'i'he  prospects  encouraged  the  trustees 
in  opening  up  a  working  shaft,  which  has  been  sunk  32  feet  at 
this  date.  In  connection  therewith  a  drain  tunnel  is  being 
constructed  that  will  tap  pay  gravel  at  40  feet  below  the  sur- 
face. The  drain  when  completed  will  be  over  1,600  feet  long. 
The  capital  stock  of  the  company  is  divided  into  500,000  shares 
at  a  par  value  of  $1.00  each.  The  stock  is  absolutely  non- 
assessable. The  money  derived  from  the  sale  of  stock  is  to  be 
applied  exclusively  in  opening  up  the  property. — The  Cana- 
dian Mining  and  Mechanical  Review^  January,  i8gj.

Not  only  mining  men,  but  the  public  generally  are  inter- 
ested in  any  new  departure  cilculated  to  facilitate  the  work  of 
wresting  gold  from  the  coffers  of  that  old  miser — Nature,  who 
hidtis  away  with  jealous  zeal  her  hoarded  wealth.  The  Cari- 
boo basin  has  long  been  known  as  one  of  the  rii;hest  gold  re- 
gions of  British  Columbia,  if  not  of  the  world.  In  fact  there 
is  no  better  manner  in  which  to  demonstrate  the  unfailing 
richness  of  the  country  than  the  official  figures,  which  show 
that  for  some  thirty  years  past  the  gold  yield  of  this  region  has 
averaged  $600  per  year  for  every  man  engaged  in  mining  dur- 
ing that  length  of  time.  The  country  generally  in  and  around 
Cariboo  is  practically  under.ayed  with  gold,  and  with  the  influx 
of  capital  to  work  up  the  deeper  claims  it  is  not  saying  too 
much  to  predict  something  like  a  return  to  the  old  times,  when 
Williams,  Lightning  and  Antler  creeks  were  producing  thou- 
sands of  ounces  of  gold  weekly.  During  the  past  season  the 
Slough  Creek  Mining  Company  have  introduced  into  Cariboo 
what  is  locally  an  entirely  new  departure.  This  is  in  the 
shape  of  a  hydraulic  jetting  process  machine,  similar  to  those 

n 


nsed  In  boring  for  coal  and  oil  in  Pennsylvania.  It  does  not 
need  any  experience  as  a  miner  to  be  able  to  appreciate  the 
vast  difference  in  the  cost  of  such  a  method  of  prospecting  as 
compared  with  the  old  process  of  sinking  a  shaft,  and  those 
who  should  know  are  very  sanguine  regarding  the  outcome  of 
the  recent  develoi)incnts  of  Slough  Creek. — Victoria    Colonist. 

♦     ♦     * 

The  district  of  Cariboo  deserves  to  have  great  favor  shown 
it  in  the  matter  of  transportation,  and  has,  so  far,  been  totally 
neglected,  except  by  the  construction  of  a  long  and  tedious 
wagon  road.  It  has  contributed  to  the  gold  supply  of  the 
world  over  fifty-five  millions  of  dollars,  all  of  which  was  ob- 
tained from  surface  diggings,  and  without  the  aid  of  skilled 
machinery.  It  is  the  firm  belief  of  our  men  well  ([ualified  to  judge 
that  there  is  far  more  gold  waiting  to  be  brought  out  by  scien- 
tific mining  and  the  enterprising  application  of  capital  than 
has  yet  been  produced.  A  railroad  would  cheapen  the  means 
of  transportation  and  the  cost  of  mining  and  living  to  such  an 
extent  that  many  mines,  now  barely  paying  expenses  would 
become  profitable.  Surely  if  any  region  of  British  Columbia 
is  entitled  to  have  a  railway  built  connecting  it  with  the  com- 
mercial cities  of  the  province,  it  is  the  long  neglected  Cariboo.
